Daisy game idea, more thoughts.

So a lot of people liked the idea of the Daisy game, and gave me comments on it. There's a lot of ideas going around about the game now and i myself gave it some thought. There so many ideas that I'm sure I'll forget some.

I think it's surprising because it's just an idea, i don't have the means to make such a game by myself. And yet, people like to make suggestions for it.

The first surprise i had when when Jon showed a lot of interest in the game, asked a lot of questions, and made a lot of suggestions. But what was neat is that he made a concept for the main villain, the evil queen/princess:

I have to b honest and i don't always like the girls Jon doodles, they often seem too tall and skinny, which is not what i'm into, but this design, i liked it a LOT! look at those curves!

Game references

Also since then, I've come to see that the concept of the game (female heroine losing her clothing) has been done before:
  • Snk's Athena game did this, except she started out in her bikini/underwear, and could get items such as weapons, shields and armors, when hit, she'd lose those.
  • The fanmade Tifa tan X2 hentai game (NSFW) is pretty close to the concept i elaborated for the Daisy game, it's not a platformer though. Tifa tries to get through the levels and defeat bosses (often female) as all the enemies try to grope her, in the final stages she may even lose her top and fight topless (i think she gets "damaged" faster in that state though). When she defeats a female boss, the boss becomes exposed. this game also features the most fun combat system ever and has like 30 special moves available to Tifa.
I believe there was another game that was similar, but i can't remember it for the life of me.

Main Princesses

A LOT of suggestions were made towards the Princesses and some possible bosses for the game, it was also implied that the pageant would allow anyone that was called a Princess of something, regardless if they're actual royalty of not. the suggestions were:
  • Jon suggested that Syrup would be a "fake Princess", trying to pass as a real one, and her attire would b stolen from another Princess.
  • Wendy O Koopa, as daughter of King Koopa, is technically a Princess. I imagine she'd help Daisy out of spite for the villain. Probably would give a Chomp related item/dress.
  • Peach, to my dismay, should probably appear in the game, her dress would probably give Daisy the ability to float in midair for a short time.
  • I'm unsure if Rosalina is actually a Princess, but since the pageant is loose about it, she would probably be in the game, her ability would possibly let Daisy shoot starbits.
  • Technically, it's a Princess, but i admit it'll b hard to write in the Princess shroob. If she provided an ability, it'd b to throw poison mushrooms at enemies or something.
There were suggestions to add Princesses such as Zelda, but i quickly refused the idea because if they're not from the mushroom kingdom, we have a crossover situation, and those never make sense.

Custom Princesses

I am interested in adding custom Princesses though, non-main character ones. Princesses that represent a race in the Mario universe, some of those would be:
  • A Jellyfish Princess, because the jellyfishes have a rather nice and interesting design.
  • A Thwomp Princess, yes, that's right, a Thwomp one. And no, not an anthro one (sorry to who suggested it). I imagine her being very similar to the male counterpart, with over the top eyelashes, lipstick, and a huge rock rack. I dunno if it's even doable, but it'd b funny.
  • A Magikoopa one, but please, nothing like the one in Mario galaxy. actually took me a while that one was even female.
  • A Birdo Princess, Cause, u just have to have a Birdo in a game with a pageant involved.
  • Although i hate anthro Apes, cause they're still just apes, a Kong Princess could b doable. but to use an existing one or make a new one, i have no idea. But Candy Kong is a good candidate.
  • A Piranha Plant Princess would b cool for the lulz, especially a potted one.
Some of these custom Princesses, if rejected, could become bosses instead.

There was a suggestion to make daisy's undergarments give her certain properties, as she could possibly get various sets. At this point, it seems too minor of a detail to bother. IF the game turns into a platformer RPG like game, then perhaps this will b considered.

I know i talk like I'm actually going to develop this, and actually am not, but i have fun planning this like i would actually do it.

Dresses

Other suggestions Jon made were towards dresses/outfits Daisy could use:
  • A Russian fur coat (and maybe hat) for ice based ability.
  • Leather Catsuit, Possibly inspired on her bike suit from Mario Kart Wii, Ability wise nothing was suggested, but i think a wall jump could work, maybe ability to slide too.
  • Hula girl outfit, but that might b Jon's penis talking.
  • a Short Yukata (Summer cotton kimono), it'd looks sort of like a kimono, but short like this. Ability? i have no idea.
Anyway, Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions and ideas. Any concept art would b welcome as well. Who knows maybe a programmer might someday stumble on this and decide to make a game engine for it.
